2004

14-year station voice, Sue Wilkinson ("That British Chick") succumbs to cancer and passes away in her native London home. Her family and estate allow Lightning 100 to continue to use her voice on the station because WRLT meant so much to Sue during her life.

I started in July 2004.  We were in the LNC tower on the 31st floor!   Loved the view, loved the building, loved the location!!!  I have always been a huge fan of Lighting 100 and was so proud to become a part of the station.  Was 2004 the last year of Uptown Mix or 2005?  I know it ended soon after I started.  It was my favorite concert series ever!  Lots and lots of great memories from many shows.  Very sad year when it went away.  I am sure there are more memories of that year, I will send them as they come to me.
